Kidney Bean Sausage Supper Recipes

KIELBASA AND KIDNEY BEANS

Steps:

• In a skillet, cook sausage for 2-3 minutes. Stir in onion and peppers. Cook and stir until sausage is lightly browned and vegetables are tender; drain. Combine brown sugar, steak sauce, vinegar and Worcestershire sauce; stir into skillet. Add beans. Cook and stir until heated through.

KIDNEY BEAN SAUSAGE SUPPER

Steps:

• In a large nonstick skillet, cook sausage over medium heat until no longer pink; drain. Add the green pepper, onion and broth; cover and cook for 5 minutes or until vegetables are tender. Add beans and tomatoes; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 10 minutes or until vegetables are tender. Serve in bowls over rice.

VIKKI'S RED BEAN SAUSAGE

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add sausage and onion and saute until onions are translucent. Add bell pepper, garlic, parsley, paprika, cayenne pepper and ground black pepper. Saute all together, stirring occasionally, until bell pepper is a little tender (about 10 minutes).
• Drain and rinse kidney beans. Add all kidney beans, tomatoes and chile peppers. Stir to mix together, reduce heat to medium and let simmer for 25 to 30 minutes. Add salt to taste while simmering. Serve hot.

THE EASIEST HOT SAUSAGE & KIDNEY BEANS WITH RICE

Steps:

• Get your rice started so that it'll be finished cooking when you are ready to eat.
• Slice the Hot Links lengthwise and then cut into bite-sized pieces.
• Peel your onion & de-seed the pepper. Cut the green pepper and onion into 1/2 inch chunks (you could also do strips, if you prefer).
• Heat your oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add your peppers and onions and cook until they are the desired "done-ness" (I prefer mine well-cooked, so I occasionally pop them in the microwave for a minute or two to speed up the cooking process.).
• Remove peppers & onions from skillet (place in a bowl until later).
• Place sausage in skillet and cook until desired "done-ness" (we like ours nearly "blackened" with a bit of crisp on the outside).
• Drain most of the oil from skillet and then return onions/peppers. Add the can of kidney beans (drained).
• Continue cooking for several minutes to heat the beans and get some of the sausage flavor in the veggies.
• To serve: spoon a scoop of cooked rice on each plate/bowl (this is a bowl meal at our house!) Then top with the sausage mixture. A hearty spoonful (or two) of salsa on top finishes it off!
• This is usually from cabinets/fridge to plate in about 30 minutes. This time-range depends on how well cooked you like the vegetables, if you do any pre-cooking in the microwave, etc.
• In our house this recipe, as indicated above, serves 2 adults and 2 children (under the age of 3), with one serving leftover. I estimate that to serve *about* four.

SAUSAGE AND RED BEAN SKILLET WITH CORNBREAD BISCUITS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400°F. In 12-inch ovenproof skillet, melt butter over medium-high heat. Cook sausage, onion, celery, bell pepper, Cajun seasoning and red pepper in butter 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until sausage is no longer pink and vegetables are softened.
• Stir in beans and tomatoes. Heat to boiling, stirring frequently; remove from heat.
• Meanwhile, in medium bowl, mix cornbread & muffin mix, cheese, milk, Sriracha sauce and egg. Spoon tablespoonfuls over sausage mixture. Bake 12 to 15 minutes or until cornbread biscuits are cooked through and browned on top. Top with green onions.

SPICY SAUSAGE-KIDNEY BEAN SOUP

Steps:

• Pick over dried beans and soak for at least 4 hours. If not using a pressure cooker, soak beans overnight.
• Place beans in pressure cooker with enough beef stock or water to cover by 2 inches and process 12-15 minutes, depending on how long they've been soaked. (Feel free to add extra garlic or a bay leaf if you so desire.) Allow to come down from pressure naturally. If not using a pressure cooker, place in pot and simmer for 2-3 hours until almost tender, adding more liquid if necessary.
• In a large Dutch oven brown sausage, stirring to crumble the meat. Drain pan drippings if desired. Add onion and garlic and saute until transparent. Add tomatoes, bay leaf, stock or water, salt, seasoned salt, thyme and beans with their liquid whether canned or processed dry. Cover and simmer for 1 hour, stirring occasionally. Add bell pepper and diced potato; cover and simmer 20 more minutes until potatoes are tender. Remove bay leaf before serving.

SPICY SAUSAGE & BEAN ONE-POT

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large frying pan. Cook the onion and sausages over a fairly high heat for 8-10 mins, turning the sausages often so they brown all over.
• Add the garlic to the pan with the kidney beans and their sauce. Half-fill one of the cans with water, swirl and then add this to the pan. Stir everything together and bring to the boil. Turn down to simmer and cook for 10 mins, or until the sausages are cooked through. Season and sprinkle with the parsley.
